2024 Map of Lake Seventeen NE

About this map

Three Buttes dominates the eastern landscape of this Blaine County terrain, providing a significant landmark overlooking the drainage basins of north-central Montana. The map documents a sparsely settled region defined by its hydrography, specifically the winding course of Peoples Creek and its tributary, South Fork Peoples Creek. These waterways and the accompanying Fogarty Coulee shape the land's character, illustrating the natural erosion patterns typical of this part of the state. Human presence is marked primarily by foundational infrastructure, with Left Fork Snake Butte Rd and Three Buttes Rd providing the primary access through the sections. The lack of named settlements or civic structures highlights the open, rural nature of this area in the early 21st century, making it a valuable reference for understanding the modern distribution of water resources and ranch access roads.
